Details

The recently introduced APIs SSL_CipherSuiteOrderGet/SSL_CipherSuiteOrderSet are not ideal for use in Firefox, due to their application of the preference on a per-socket basis (rather than the entire NSS instance). Model sockets aren't used in such a way that a single call will propagate the change to new sockets, as was the original intention. See additional context in bug 1583610.

We should update the API (or provide a global variant) where no socket argument is required and the change is applied globally.

We have modified the bot to only consider P1 as high priority, so I'm cancelling the needinfo here.
